Trivia The song that Austin sings when Vince comes to visit him (titled 'Daughter') was in fact written by director and co-writer Eddie Sternberg for his daughter. See more »
Goofs At 00:20:11 into the film, when Vince is watching an old movie when he was a child, in the lower right corner it says 15:12pm. This could not be possible. It would be 3:12pm or simply 15:12. See more »
